History
Long before its formal creation as an independent province, Quirino was the forest region of the province of Nueva Vizcaya, inhabited by tribal groups known as the Negritos. They roamed the hinterlands and built their huts at the heart of the jungle.
Quirino lies in the southeastern portion of Cagayan Valley. It is situated within the upper portion of the Cagayan River basin and bounded by Isabela on the north, Aurora on the east and southeast, and Nueva Vizcaya on the west and southwest.
The Ilocano dialect is used widely in the lowlands of the province’s various municipalities while Ifugao is predominant in the uplands.
Quirino province acquired its juridical personality as a result of the division of the provinces of Nueva Vizcaya and Isabela on June 18, 1966 under RA 4734. Quirino, named after the late president Elpidio Quirino, was created as a sub-province of Nueva Vizcaya in 1966. It became a full province in 1971.
On June 21, 1969, RA 5554 was enacted, amending RA 4734 and creating the municipality of Cabarroguis, now the capital town of Quirino, which was taken from portions of Diffun, Saguday, and Aglipay.
RA 6394 was passed on September 10, 1971 further amending RA 5554 and separating the sub-province of Quirino from its mother province, Nueva Vizcaya, constituting it into a regular province. Hon. Leonardo B. Perez authored RA 6394.
The province of Quirino was formally established on February 10, 1972 upon the assumption to office of the first elected provincial and municipal officials headed by Dionisio A. Sarandi as Provincial Governor.
On February 25, 1983, Batas Pambansa Blg. 345 was enacted, creating within Quirino the municipality of Nagtipunan, a division of the municipality of Maddela.

I love Quirino
(quirinoensi Amo! qaj)
God, most loving Father, we praise and glorify you for your goodness which you graciously have given to our beloved province of Quirino. We come before you at the beginning of this activity to acknowledge that what we have and are come from your goodness, and to seek your guidance for the success of this day. Set our feet on the path of your righteousness and peace as we humble ourselves to seek your favor and goodness.
Most Merciful Father, may we always say, “I love Quirino” to acknowledge our being citizens of this fertile land. May we recognize that we are stewards of your creation and caretakers of our environment.
As we say, “I love Quirino,” may we show our concern for our brothers and sisters, especially those who are needy, destitute, abandoned, abused and suffering. Open our hearts so that we may extend our hands to all those who are in pain and difficulty.
Let us say, “I love Quirino,” O Lord, to affirm our hope for true peace and progress in our province. We ask you to bless our leaders. Give them wisdom to do what is right, but most of all, the courage to do and live it! May they always work for the common good so that they may lead their constituents to a better life. Let them always love not their own selfish interest, but most of all, our beloved province of Quirino.
May our words, “I love Quirino,” truly ignite in our hearts our vision of justice, prosperity and goodness. May it forever direct all our efforts and actions, for as you said, “Love does no wrong to a neighbor; love is the fulfillment of the law!”
As we humble ourselves and acknowledge you as our God and Lord, may our words, “I love Quirino” truly bring us to a new era where your Son will truly be our light in whatever we say and do. We ask all this in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ, now and forever.
Amen.
